Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pump unit flow passage design, more particularly to a pipeline pump unit, a water plenum thereof and a flow passage design method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of pump units, spiral water plenums are widely used in various types of pumps, such as centrifugal pumps and mixed flow pumps, due to their ideal flow, strong adaptability, and wide high-efficiency range. As a core hydraulic component, the rationality of the flow passage structure of the spiral water plenum directly determines the efficiency, running stability, and noise level of the pump. The design method of the spiral water plenum has developed over the years, and a classic hydraulic theory design scheme system has been formed and widely adopted in the industry. However, the spiral water plenum designed using the traditional design scheme simplifies the design process, but mainly focuses on meeting the hydraulic performance, and there are some problems in process sensitivity, noise, and universality, which pose higher challenges to researchers.

[0003] After searching, new design ideas have been derived for the design of pump body spiral water plenums. For example, the patent with publication number CN103994102A discloses a spiral water plenum design method for low specific speed centrifugal pumps, which optimizes the geometric size parameters of the spiral water plenum, achieves higher hydraulic efficiency and stability, expands the operating flow range, and reduces vibration and noise. The patent with publication number CN113464495A provides a spiral water plenum for automatically balancing radial forces in a multi-stage pump and a design method thereof. By designing symmetrical spiral water plenums in the multi-stage pump, the use of symmetrically arranged partitions and diffuser pipes allows the impeller to generate counteracting radial forces, solving the vibration problem caused by radial forces in the prior art and improving the efficiency and service life of the pump. The patent with publication number CN113530887A provides a spiral water plenum structure for a centrifugal pump. By adjusting the expansion angle and the spiral line conservation coefficient, the efficiency reduction problem of the centrifugal pump in a large flow regulation range is solved, achieving higher efficiency and stability. It can be seen that in order to improve the performance of the pump body in multiple aspects, it is necessary to further optimize the traditional flow passage design, and the design of the water plenum flow passage has always been a hot issue in the industry.

[0043] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0044] EMBODIMENT

[0045] In conjunction with

[0046] Figures 1-4 ​​​As shown, to more fully understand the solution of this embodiment, the traditional design scheme of the spiral pressure chamber in the industry will be described first. The pump unit includes a pump body 100, within which an impeller 200 is located, forming a spiral pressure chamber 300. The key dimension of the pressure chamber 300 includes the base circle of the spiral pressure chamber 300. The inlet width of the 300mm flow channel in the pressure chamber and the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow channel In this invention, the flow area of ​​the 8th cross section is used. The size of the flow channel cross-sectional area is used to characterize the flow channel. The base circle is the circle tangent to the starting point of the spiral line of the spiral pressure chamber 300; the inlet width of the pressure chamber 300 is the width of the flow channel, i.e., the transverse dimension of the flow channel perpendicular to the flow direction. The first one in the plan view of the pressure chamber 300 The cross-sectional area of ​​the flow path; For the first The cross-sectional position angle of a section is defined. These represent the starting and ending points of the cross-sectional position angles, i.e., 0° and 360°. The cross-sectional position angle for the first cross-section is 45°, for the second cross-section it is 90°, and so on. The parameters are as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown.

[0047] The traditional spiral pressure chamber design in the industry is mainly based on the following design scheme:

[0048] Base circle size Typically, the impeller outer diameter is 200 mm. 1.03 to 1.08 times, that is:

[0049] .

[0050] 300mm inlet width of pressure chamber In traditional design, Typically, the impeller outlet width is 200 mm. 1.6 to 2 times, that is:

[0051] .

[0052] Cross-sectional area distribution: Area of ​​section 8 Calculated using the velocity coefficient method, based on the principle of equal velocity, the cross-sectional areas are distributed proportionally according to the angle, i.e., the flow area of ​​the 8th cross-section in the 300 plan view of the spiral plenum chamber. satisfy:

[0053]

[0054]

[0055] in, The average velocity of the vortex chamber cross section is expressed in m / s.

[0056] H represents the pump's single-stage head, in meters (m).

[0057] This is the velocity coefficient, the value of which can be selected based on the Stepanov curve;

[0058] g is the acceleration due to gravity, m / s² 2 ;

[0059]

[0060] in, The serial number is a positive integer from 1 to 7;

[0061] The first one in the plan view of the pressure chamber 300 The cross-sectional area of ​​the flow path, in mm² 2 ;

[0062] For the first The cross-sectional position angle of a section is defined. Let 0° and 360° be the starting and ending points of the cross-sectional position angles. Then, the cross-sectional position angle of the first cross-section is 45°, the cross-sectional position angle of the second cross-section is 90°, and so on. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown.

[0063] The traditional design approach, which focuses on meeting hydraulic performance requirements, simplifies the design process. However, through long-term practice, the applicant has found that this design still results in significant drawbacks for the pump body in terms of process sensitivity, noise levels, and versatility. These are specifically manifested as follows:

[0064] First, the base circle With import width The design is sensitive to manufacturing errors. The design is too compact, resulting in a very small gap between the impeller 200 and the pressure chamber 300. If the outer diameter or outlet width of the impeller 200 is too large during casting or machining, it is very easy to cause friction between the impeller 200 and the pump body 100. Considering the amplification effect of dynamic and static interference in high-speed canned pumps, the small base circle diameter exacerbates the intensity of dynamic and static interference, resulting in a higher pressure pulsation amplitude and causing vibration and noise pollution.

[0065] Secondly, in the traditional design, the mode of "one pump and one pressure water chamber" is adopted, and the parameter ratio in the traditional design scheme limits the adaptation range, cannot cover the change demand of the outer diameter and the outlet width of the impeller 200, does not have universality, is difficult to adapt to the impellers 200 of different flow demands in the same series, leads to high development cost and long development period. Due to the dynamic pressure expansion characteristics of the fluid in the spiral flow passage, the area gradient of the first several sections is large, and flow separation zones and vortexes are easily formed in the first half of the flow passage. Due to the asymmetry of the structure, the impeller 200 is close to the partition tongue, and high pressure pulsation is easily generated, leading to large radial force, thereby causing vibration and noise, affecting the stable operation of the pump; and the partition tongue area is easy to produce vortex due to flow state mutation, leading to serious local wear.

[0066] In view of the above situation, the present application provides a new pipeline type pump unit pressure water chamber flow passage design scheme, through the coordinated adjustment of the base circle , the inlet width and the section area, the gap between the impeller 200 and the pressure water chamber 300 is expanded while meeting the hydraulic performance, the casting and machining tolerance is increased, the production process is good, the tolerance to casting or machining error is high, the risk of interference friction of the water pump caused by production process, manufacturing error and assembly deviation is greatly reduced.

[0067] Secondly, the spiral pressure water chamber pump body designed by the design method provided by the present application has larger base circle and inlet width size compared with the pump body designed by the traditional spiral pressure water chamber, and therefore has good compatibility to impellers 200 of different outer diameters and widths, has high universality, greatly reduces the types of pump bodies of series development products, and thereby reduces the development cost.

[0068] Finally, the traditional spiral pressure water chamber calculates the area of each section based on the principle of equal velocity by the velocity coefficient method, this method simplifies the design process, but does not consider the dynamic pressure expansion characteristics of the fluid in the spiral flow passage. For example, the area gradient of the first several sections is large, leading to sudden drop of flow velocity, and flow separation zones are easily formed in the first half of the flow passage. In the present application, the spiral pressure water chamber 300 is designed with large flow area, the area of each section is adjusted to different degrees, the area gradient of each section is optimized, the flow separation and impact loss are reduced, the outlet flow velocity is low, the pressure pulsation is low, the radial force is small, and the like.

[0069] It can be seen that the flow passage design scheme of the present application can systematically solve the multi-target conflict, through the coordinated adjustment of the base circle, the inlet width and the section area, low noise, high efficiency and high universality are realized at the same time, the influence of the base circle expansion on the efficiency is effectively balanced, the leakage loss is caused by the too large gap, the influence of the inlet width expansion on the flow velocity distribution, and the suppression effect of the section area gradient on the turbulence.

[0070] The design scheme of the application is described in detail as follows by taking an energy-saving shield pump as an example.

[0071] The basic parameters of the shield pump in this case are as follows:

[0072] Design flow = 2m 3 / h, design head H = 5.3m, and design rotating speed is 5300rpm. The size parameter of the existing impeller 200 is outer diameter 38.5mm, and the outlet width of the impeller 200 is 3.2mm. The water plenum 300 is designed based on the above.

[0073] The key size design formula of the spiral water plenum 300 is as follows:

[0074] S1, on the basis of the traditional water plenum design method, the base circle is redundantly designed, the gap between the impeller 200 and the water plenum 300 is expanded, the base circle position and the indication are , Figure 1 , Figure 2 , which satisfies:

[0081] In this embodiment, the coefficient is 3.75, and the calculated value is . In practice, 2.5, , , , can also be used.

[0082] ​​​S3, the flow area of the 8th section in the plan view of the spiral pressure water chamber is calculated according to the traditional calculation method, and the flow area of the 8th section is Satisfies:

[0083]

[0084]

[0085] wherein, is the average velocity of the vortex section, in m / s;

[0086] is the design flow, in m / s; 3

[0087] is the flow area of the 8th section;

[0088] H is the single-stage lift of the pump, in m;

[0089] g is the acceleration of gravity, m / s 2 ;

[0090] is the velocity coefficient, which can be selected according to the Stepanov curve.

[0091] In this embodiment, the spiral pressure water chamber adopts a rounded rectangular section, as shown in Figure 1 , according to the Stepanov curve, the value of is selected, and the calculated .

[0092] S4, the areas of other sections are calculated according to the following formula:

[0095] is the flow area of the th section in the plan view of the pressure water chamber, in mm 2 ;

[0096] is the flow area coefficient of the th section in the plan view of the pressure water chamber.

[0097] The traditional pressure water chamber design method in the industry distributes the areas of each section according to the angle proportion according to the principle of equal velocity, that is, the coefficient is:
